Mystery solved: Now we know why the Obama Homage to Self, er, Temple of Doom, er, Presidential Library will not house any documents.
But really, isn’t an empty building the perfect symbol of his “legacy” ?
Officials with the Obama Foundation will circumvent onerous federal standards by creating an online archive for the forthcoming Barack Obama Presidential Center instead of a traditional paper archive.
Utilizing a digitized presidential library also means not having to pay fees to the National Archives and Records Administration for management of the library, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The $500 million Obama center — a soul-crushing, concrete architectural monstrosity — will feature basketball courts, a recording studio, meeting rooms, an auditorium, a children’s play garden and, of course, an exhibition hall for odes to the world-historical idea of Barack Obama. Unlike every other presidential library, however, it will be bereft of historical documents….

I still think that the Clinton Library banning the Free Beacon in 2014 because its reporter found juicy information on Hillary factored into this Obama decision to vote present.
Remember, too, that online documents can be doctored–er, modified. But who would think of doing that?
The library was deleted?
All this built on protected wetlands of some sort that were, previous to this, unavailable to develop. Anything for the Obamas, though.
Is that area in front of the building the putting green?
